Grundy Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 So I've got a WP website, fair bit of content now and the traffic is increasing. I don't like to publish things half arsed. So my main issue is some of my pages need tweaking to be fully responsive. Websites perfect on 1920x1080 but in this day and age most people view on tablets/mobile devices. So looking to see if there is anyone out there who could give me some pointers on where to start. Here's my home page - http://www.teamtarmac.com/ And here is my new page created - http://www.teamtarmac.com/events-main/uks-biggest-car-shows-of-2016/ Just looking for some tips Mods - I've removed my Merchandise page as last time my thread got deleted for asking advice on the website because it had a merchandise tab on it.

steve916 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Hi Matt, Will you be tweaking it for iPads too. Even if I turn my iPad sideways, the letters are disappearing off each side of the screen. Otherwise looking good Quote

Even if I turn my iPad sideways, the letters are disappearing off each side of the screen. Otherwise looking good That's my plan. The basic theme is responsive, but I've tweaked it so much that most of my additions aren't fully responsive I've managed to make the header/buttons cascade down for mobile devices. Thats about as much as my responsive coding goes Quote

Hodaka Sweet, may have a couple of questions, as I've basically been learning whilst building. managed to solve my problem for now by using 'background-size: contain' on my images to allow them to fit on a mobile view.

Before I expand it any more, I think I now want to get all the creases ironed out. I.e. get rid of any unused blank spaces (this mainly happens in mobile view as I've been building it just as desktop view for now) make sure there is consistency across all my pages, then once that is done I'd like to carry on upgrading my 'merchandise' page as it's very minimal at the moment as I was in a rush setting it up to allow ease of payments. There's no E commerce plugins used atm, that's how basic it is Quote
Hodaka Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Yeah that totally makes sense. It's a bit late now I guess, but have you tried coding mobile first then using media queries for larger screens? I find it an easier approach as there's more things to worry about when coding for smaller screens. As I say, probably pointless mentioning it as you've already built a lot of the website! Don't hesitate to let me know if you need a second pair of eyes or to discuss anything. As long as I can help, I will Quote

As long as I can help, I will I think that will be my route for future pages (if that's feasible) It started off as a small website but it's expanding fast, so need to start up my game and learn some more CSS 1 Quote
